As always on the first day of school, I took Kyler's picture, then it was off to the donut shop for our annul First Day of School Breakfast. As Kyler started middle school this morning, I prayed that God would keep a hedge of protection around him. Then God pressed it on my heart to start reciting the "Armor of God" passage everyday on our way to school. It is my hope by doing so Kyler will be reminded that God is with him all day, everyday, to continue to make good decisions, and be equipped to face the many challenges that he will be facing this year. I have provided the passage below if anyone wants to print it off and stick it your car and do the same!
Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. ~~Ephesians 6:10-18
